Pepperoni Pizza Puffs / Pizza Muffins

Pizza puffs are the new rage all over the social media. If you haven't heard of it I encourage you to try it at least once. For all the vegetarians and all those observing Lent please omit the pepperoni and go for the veggie option like in the normal pizza. Just make sure to chop it fine.

I usually make all kinds of pizza from the scratch for Friday night.But to tell you the truth it takes a lot of time and work to knead and wait few hours for the dough to rise finally bake it just in time to serve it hot. I don't mind doing it but with almost same ingredients these puffs can be done in a jiffy so why not go for it right!

A mess free pizza in bite size version without too much work . Simply mix and bake is all you have to do.Thanks to Rachael Ray for the recipe.

I am sure all pizza loving families would enjoy these puffs.

Ideal for kids parties, movie night ,grab and go snack or in-between practices' for your kids. Filling and mess free car snacks.... Can World favorite pizza get any better than this!

Method :
First mix the flour ,baking powder and spices together.Then add milk and egg whisk until combined .Add the cheese,pepperoni, bell pepper mix until combined.Let it stand for 10 minutes. Scoop into the lined muffin tray and bake at 375 F for 20- 25 minutes until top is golden brown.
Serve it with soup and salad for week night dinner or as a snack with some warm marinara sauce.

Note : Makes around 24 mini muffins.
I used a regular muffin tray and it yielded around 7 muffins.

ohhh...this sounds so mess free...and quick too...usually when we crave for pizzas and decide to make at home, by the time everything is ready the craving is half gone because of all the wait time....This is real good option for the quick fix..bookmarking it

cudnt comment here the other day, i read this post. so came back once again to ahve a re-read. honestly, jus tknowing abt this only now...may be, am the only person now in the social cookery circle, who was not aware of this ! anyways, have bookmarked it a...shud ..msut try !!!!

I tried these tonight. Made them with red bell pepper instead of green and diced spicy sausage instead of pepperoni, because that's what I had on hand. I also modified the seasonings according to my preference and inspiration, since I can't find a decent Italian seasoning mix where I'm from (so I used rosemary, thyme, ground black pepper, red chili flakes, sweet red pepper powder, garlic powder and onion flakes). They turned out great! The batter is light and fluffy. I've tried another pizza puff recipe before and those turned out very bland and heavy. Thank you for the recipe, will definitely keep using it!

Thank you so much for trying this recipe and letting me know. I am really glad to know it came out well.The recipe is quite forgiving, any spice u have in hand could be used. The spice combination u used here sounds really flavorful.
